Former Prime Minister Assualted

We’re just finding out now about an incident in downtown Montreal that saw former Prime Minister Joe Clark get punched in the face

“A fellow called my name and said: ‘Are you Joe Clark, the former prime minister?’ ” Clark said in an interview yesterday.

“My initial response was to say ‘Hi,’ and off I went. He then came along beside me and repeated it. And I said, ‘Yes.’ And he then hit me once on the face. He then swiveled and was away quickly.” Clark said he was shocked but not severely injured. Full story in the Montreal Gazette

This happened the 3rd week in November – and Clark didn’t actually report it to police until two days later.
